youknowwho.com and .de are gone, Michael published a farewell rant yesterday announcing he is closing down "the biggest watch forum on the internet".

all the wold is too stupid to recognize what he has done for the brand, the world, the universe; sick of the many fakes - he must have had a look at his own offerings in a sane moment ?

good riddance.

Hard to believe that the largest watch forum on the internet closed down and virtually no one noticed.

He still has 800 various and sundry items on Watchsea24 under the FGM connection and using his real name and address.

Oh well, good riddance and hopefully that means we won't get any more of the periodic new users attempting to circumvent the ban.

René, I think this :bow: is not the best choice , you have a choice of more appropriated smileys for the Sage :woohoo: :fake: :drunk: :banhim: :soapbox: :michaelangelo: :cigar:
A big waste to see what I feel as a real knowledge spoiled by lies and frustration . The numerous ads are still there under usual nicknames ...The best way to detect him is the utopic pricing .

Sage

noun
1.
a profoundly wise person; a person famed for wisdom.
2.
someone venerated for the possession of wisdom, judgment, and experience.

Hence :bow:

And yes i have a weird sense of humour

I just noticed that the B r e i t l i n g l o u n g e .de website is currently owned by Breitling S.A. Grenchen Suisse

Since :bow: has not bragged anywhere about selling his domain to Breitling I am guessing this was not such a friendly domain transfer , maybe even a 'cease and desist' ? , but I am speculating now

just wanted people to know

and Roff ?, you can take the 'iamspamming' down now :lingsrock:
